Lesson
Title
Re-Teaching Multiplication Strategies
Summary
Teacher will re-teach students how to use various strategies for multiplication. These strategies include: break-apart method, lattice method, drawing arrays, or using the standard algorithm. Students will use an app called “show me” on the iPad. Students will be required to compare two strategies using the app and submit their final product via drop box.
Standards
State/National: 4.OA.A.2 Multiply or divide to solve word problems involving multiplicative comparison, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem, distinguishing multiplicative comparison from additive comparison. Technology – NETS for Students: 1. Creativity and Innovation Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology.
2. Communication and Collaboration Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others.
3. Research and Information Fluency Students apply digital tools to gather, evaluate, and use information.
5. Digital Citizenship Students understand human, cultural, and societal issues related to technology and practice legal and ethical behavior.
Learning Objectives (created from learning outcomes)
State the objectives for the lesson—make sure each objective is measurable. The objectives need to align with the levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy.
Remember - Students will recall various strategies to use when multiplying.
oStudents may research the web for examples of strategies.
Understand - Students will understand that although the goal is for the students to be able to solve the standard algorithm when multiplying, they may use a strategy to get the same answer or check their answers.
oStudents may use inspiration software compare the various types of strategies.
Apply - Students will apply their knowledge of strategies by comparing strategies.
oStudents will use presentation software “Show Me” to show their strategies.
Analyze and Evaluate - Students will review each students’ presentation and give feedback.
oStudents will deliver their assignment via drop box for access.
Create - Students will create their presentation.
Hardware
iPad and Computer
Software
“Show Me” app and Drop Box Application
Prerequisite Skills
Students must have experience using the “Show Me” app as well as submitting assignments via drop box.
Duration
What is the recommended duration of this activity?
Short term (two or three class periods) – This assignment will be completed after the lesson. Although it can be finished within one class period, two periods is more ideal for editing purposes.
Grouping
What is the recommended grouping for this activity?
Individual – Students will work independently on this assignment. They will be able to complete this and review another student’s work.
Face-to-Face Instruction (This portion will only be completed if a hybrid format is utilized)
Anticipatory Set: SW mix-pair-share to find a partner. SW grab two dice and roll the dice to create a one digit x one digit multiplication sentence. Students will quiz each other on multiplication facts for 5 minutes. SW write the problems in their math journal and keep score to see which partner got the most answers correct. Teaching Procedures:
SW review multiplication strategies:
Lattice Method
Break Apart Method
Drawing Arrays
Standard Algorithm
SW solve 12 x 9 using all strategies in their math notebook
TW review the strategies and give another problem
SW solve 23 x 12 using all strategies except drawing an array
SW mix-pair-share to find a partner to work with
SW complete various problems in their math notebook. 14x6, 23x7, 18x9, 25x8
TW circulate to help groups and ensure understanding.
Closure:SW use two strategies to solve 13x6 using the “Show Me” application.
Assessment (Summative and Formative)
Student reflections – Students can reflect on how they solved their problem using the two strategies. Students will play back their recording from the “Show Me” app, and type up a short reflection of why they chose those strategies.
Performance task – Students will use the “Show Me” app on the iPad to present two strategies to solve a multiplication problem. It will record their voice as well as what they write when solving the problem.
Extension Items
To extend this activity, the student may compare all four strategies. The multiplication problem that they are solving can be a two digit by two digit multiplication problem instead of a two digit by one digit problem.
Areas of Concern
Some concerns would be some students do not know their basic facts which would allow them to multiply using the break apart, lattice, and standard algorithm strategies. Arrays would only work for those type of students. An accommodation for this would be, allowing the students use a multiplication chart while working on their strategies.
Using the "Show Me" app, solve the problem showing the strategies you chose.
